Chapter 48: Final Preparations
I don't know if it's a blessing to the soul or a post-apocalyptic syndrome attack, anyway, Chen Tao is actively preparing for disaster relief. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
People who have not reached this realm can't see the monstrous demonic energy at all, and they just think that Chen Tao is making a big fuss. However, whoever made him the principal, even if everyone complained a little in their hearts, they had to actively participate in the preparation.
The fence of the entire base area has been widened by two levels, and the surrounding forest has been almost cut down for this purpose. But it's a good thing, at least there are no dense plants blocking the view, and you can better see the enemy's tracks so that you can react quickly.
After another two days, the number of monsters that appeared around them increased, and no one knew why they suddenly appeared.
Their number increased, and suddenly those small strongholds suffered. Even if there are a lot of third-rate generals, but they lack enough weapons, it is extremely difficult to fight. In a short time, there was a small stronghold, which was breached by more than thirty Nakshatras, killed hundreds of people, and then turned into zombies and surrendered to these thirty or so Nakshatas.
It was only the destruction of a stronghold, but it did not make other large or small strongholds feel the arrival of a crisis. Many people are like this, and they don't know until the end of the day. Perhaps, greed and lust for power are indeed the greatest original sins of mankind?
Fortunately, there is still a sense of crisis, at least the small stronghold has begun to prepare. They don't know if these preparations are useful, or if they should be prepared. But looking at the broken stronghold, and seeing Chen Tao's preparation for his life, he felt that he seemed to have become neurotic, of course, there was no such thing in that era.
After another three days, the number of monsters increased, and the situation became a little unpleasant.
At this time, Zhao Feng came to take refuge with three thousand elites, each of whom was a third-rate military general-level existence. Originally, there were 30,000 people in the stronghold, but only these 3,000 cronies were willing to leave with him. People's hearts are not ancient, people only want to be comfortable, but they don't want to be in the depths of such a world, they don't have the strength, how to protect themselves?
Xinshi City didn't care, and directly took over the Zhending stronghold, and its power was expanded. However, their manpower was scattered, laying the foundation for the destruction of the next two strongholds and the casualties of hundreds of thousands of people.
Knowing that Zhao Feng was coming, Chen Tao hurriedly ran out of the stronghold to greet him without tidying up his appearance. Looking at his hurried and untidy appearance, Zhao Feng was suddenly relieved. The old woman laughed at Chen Tao for being so old and unorthodox, but in fact, she was very satisfied with his performance.
"Brother Chen, I'll bother you in the future." Zhao Feng came to Chen Tao and bowed. From today on, he is not in charge, and he will not have to do things under Chen Tao in the future, so he naturally has to correct his identity.
"Everyone has a friendship, Brother Zhao shouldn't be so angry. In the future, if Chen has a mouthful of dry rice to eat, he will definitely not let Brother Zhao drink it thin! Chen Tao straightened him and said happily. With Zhao Feng to take refuge, is Zhao Yun still far away?
"But I don't know what is in charge of Chen, how do you plan to arrange the old woman?" The old woman stepped forward and quipped.
"If the seniors don't mind, you can serve as the stronghold of the guest elder, and you only need to go to the Taoist Academy to teach a course at ordinary times, and then deal with it at a critical moment to help defend against foreign enemies. In terms of treatment, how about adding ten spirit stones every month? Chen Tao naturally didn't dare to snub the predecessors of this foundation building period.
"You kid actually has a spirit stone in his hand!" When the old woman heard this, she became excited.
She knows what the spirit stone is, but the spirit stone in this world is extinct, where can she find it. Even if the spirit stone is cultivated in the foundation building period like hers, it is very useful, how can she not be excited?
Chen Tao didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out thirty spirit stones, which could be regarded as a meeting gift for her. This kind of low-grade spirit stone only needs one spar for each one to be exchanged. There are monster suits everywhere now, and the acquisition of spars is not a problem.
Those crawling monsters, he called them ghouls. As for those with bulging ribs, he called them hungry ghosts. These two monsters also have spars in their heads, but unfortunately they are first-class spars; On the contrary, it is the kind that is very similar to the Yaksha, but the one in the head is a second-level spar, and after a few days, I have earned thousands of spars, and it is not heartbreaking to take out thirty of them and exchange them for low-grade spirit stones.
After getting the spirit stone, the old woman's expression was also a lot excited, and the identity of this guest elder naturally followed. Originally, she planned to stay, after all, her godson was also here and needed to be taken care of nearby, but she didn't expect to be able to receive a spirit stone as a fortune by accident, and a part of it would be given to Zhao Feng in the future, and his cultivation didn't need to worry too much.
"Brother Zhao, there is still a lack of a deputy in the county under my command, but I don't know if Brother Zhao can give in?" After arranging the old woman, it was naturally Zhao Feng's turn, Chen Tao thought about it and gave him a relatively high position.
"It's good to have a place to mix rice and eat, regardless of the official position." Zhao Feng said open-mindedly.
When the Zhending stronghold was formed, the main reason was that he did not want the people in his hometown to be displaced. He himself is not the kind of man who likes power, otherwise he would not be unknown in history.
The three thousand elites brought by Zhao Feng and their families were naturally properly arranged. Seeing that there were more and more monsters around, Chen Tao had to start preventing the people from continuing to go out to work and do his best to defend the city. Almost all the people under his command went to the academy to study, and with the help of Emperor Liupulp, there were almost no ordinary people in the country-related strongholds.
At most, there are some old people who can't cultivate, but they are also very limited.
When everyone was strong, Chen Tao was divided into four defense areas according to the region, and handed over to Zhao Feng, Gao Lan, Zhang He and Han Juzi to take care of the defense, and he led the five hundred Dragon Guards, with Long Er and Yin Kai as his deputies.
Every day, the four major defense areas will send a group of soldiers out to hunt, but the object is not the beasts, but those monsters. Each spar is exchanged for two catties of rice, which is the new price given by Chen Tao. But he still earned at least eight catties of rice, and the essence of the profiteer remained the same.
After Zhao Feng recognized the old woman as his godmother, he naturally learned the orthodox Taoist exercises from her, and the effect of gathering spirits was several times higher than before, and now he is already the seventh layer of qi training, that is, a master in the late stage of qi training.
Chen Tao is in retreat, but the Long Wei Army is under the command of Long Er and Yin Kai, going out to hunt monsters every day, and improving the combat effectiveness of the army through battles again and again.
Chen Tao knew that time was pressing, so he had to find a way to improve his cultivation. He left behind a large batch of grain, which could support the exchange of 30,000 spars. He believes that he should be able to hold out until the end of the retreat.
At this moment, he is already an existence at the peak of qi refining, and he is only one step away from building a foundation. Not to mention that the old woman, as a monk in the foundation building period, also told him some key points and tricks for foundation building, which was of great help to his success in building the foundation.
Sitting on top of the futon, this futon is called the meditation futon, which has the effect of calming the mind and suppressing the demons. For qi practitioners, it can increase the success rate of building some foundations a little, and it is also good for cultivation, which is considered a low-grade magic weapon, and it cost Chen Tao 600 spars to buy in the supermarket.
He took out a vial of poison, which was no longer enough for him. "Nine Turns of Heavenly Demon Transformation" He didn't cultivate, just because he didn't have a spiritual root, and he had to go to the foundation building period to change cultivation so that there would be no side effects.
This bottle is highly poisonous, but he refined it with a worm and a grass toxin, and its power is far greater than that of corpse poison. After a moment's hesitation, he tilted his head and surrendered!
